"Come on. It's just me. Even though we just met today, it felt like I had found my long lost brother!"
His face appeared sincere, but the man could also see a faint look of greed mixed in.
The man laughed. "Since you say so, then I will tell you. But not right now. Considering that you're my new brother, what do you say if I invite you to a gathering after this? The parties I usually attend have lots of opportunities. Those will surely help you."
The artist looked pleasantly surprised.
"Really? Wow, then that would be really great."
"Of course. As the older brother, I naturally have to help out my new little brother."
The two laughed while hazy smoke slowly filled the area.
